DAVID ZACEK
DAVID ZACEK IS AN ARTISANAL MENSWEAR BRAND FOUNDED IN 2022, SPECIALIZING IN EXPERIMENTAL DYEING, PATTERN MAKING AND FINISHING TECHNIQUES. EVERY PIECE IS CRAFTED BY HAND IN OUR ATELIER IN PRAGUE, WHERE OUR TEAM OVERSEES EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCTION. ALL ITEMS ARE EITHER MADE IN-HOUSE OR PRODUCED LOCALLY, ENSURING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INTEGRITY.

PHILOSOPHY
THE BRAND CONTINUES THE NARRATIVE OF KAREL ČAPEK’S R.U.R. STORY, WHERE THE EROSION OF HUMANITY SIGNALS THE NEXT STAGE OF ITS EVOLUTION. RATHER THAN FOLLOWING TRADITIONAL SEASONAL RELEASES, WE INTRODUCE NEW PIECES CONTINUOUSLY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CURRENT EPOCH.

EPOCH
EACH EPOCH DEFINES A DISTINCT PHASE OF THE NEW MACHINERY CIVILIZATION—A SOCIETY REDISCOVERING ITS PAST WHILE INCHING CLOSER TO HUMANITY. THE CONCEPT IS ROOTED IN THE PHILOSOPHICAL THEORY OF CYCLICAL HISTORY, WHERE CIVILIZATIONS PERPETUALLY RISE AND FALL, SHAPING THEIR OWN DESTINY THROUGH REPETITION AND REINVENTION.

THE BRAND EMBRACES PRIMITIVE FUTURISM, A FUSION OF RAW, HANDCRAFTED TECHNIQUES WITH FORWARD-THINKING DESIGN. EACH GARMENT IS AN ARTIFACT—BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN THE ORGANIC AND THE INDUSTRIAL, THE ANCIENT AND THE FUTURISTIC. THESE PIECES ARE REMNANTS OF A SPECULATIVE FUTURE, WHERE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TECHNOLOGY MERGE, CREATING SOMETHING BOTH PRIMAL AND VISIONARY.
